Nan Xian debuted at twenty and became an overnight sensation. At twenty-three, at the peak of her career, she married He Mingxiao. Who knew that on their wedding night, Nan Xian would receive a con...
"Ah...so it's a fairy."
What Nan Xian didn't tell anyone was that ever since she woke up from that dream, she had been able to see through the disguises of all demons and monsters.
At first, she didn't realize this, since almost everyone in the Realm of Reflection was non-human, and no one hid or concealed their true forms.
It wasn't until just before she left, at the exit formation leading from the Realm of Reflection to reality, that she realized she could still see the ears on the heads of those non-humans or the tails behind them, and only then did she belatedly realize that something was wrong.
She thought her new "skill" was somewhat similar to the "yin-yang eyes" or "third eye" in supernatural works, so she subtly inquired about it with Situ Ting, whose answer was very close to her guess.
The surface world does indeed have naturally occurring Yin-Yang eyes, but that was many years ago—as spiritual energy gradually thinned and the living environment for non-humans became increasingly narrow, the Heavenly Dao, in order to maintain the balance between human and non-human groups, slowly reclaimed some of the talents that had been bestowed upon humans.
According to historical records, the last person in history to be born with the ability to see ghosts appeared during the Republic of China period.
Amidst national crisis and the chaos of war, the Special Administration Bureau, which was still an incomplete organization at the time, struggled to unite these forces.
After that, there was no trace of the Yin-Yang Eyes ever again.
However, human potential is always limitless.
When the spiritual energy stored in a cultivator's body reaches a certain level, they can communicate with heaven and earth using their own energy, sign a contract with heaven and earth, and use the power of all things in heaven and earth to achieve what they desire.
Seeing through the disguises of demons and monsters is nothing more than a tiny speck of dust or a drop of water compared to the vast power of heaven and earth, as boundless as the stars and the sea.
Nan Xian was very lucky; she gained this ability by accident.
However, since research on non-human powers is still in the exploratory stage, the Special Administration Bureau has a very strict review mechanism in this regard to avoid accidents that could cause social panic.
For non-humans to enter human society and live as "humans," they must not only be able to control their original forms, but also be tested on their reactions and coping mechanisms when facing high pressure and intense crises.
If there is even the slightest imperfection, the audit will not be passed.
Therefore, this was the first time Nan Xian had seen a "living" fairy since returning to reality.
And it's a... piggy bank demon?
The Way of Heaven is fair to all things. Since animals and plants can cultivate, transform into human form, and even become immortals, then inanimate objects like tools can naturally do the same.
In myths and legends, there are stories of deities sprinkling their divine energy on a stone, and that ordinary stone, meant for stepping on, suddenly undergoes a qualitative leap, becoming a "stone spirit" or "stone fairy."
That makes sense, but—looking at the golden coin floating above Sheng Zhicheng's head, spinning happily, Nan Xian pursed her lips and tried to hold back, but still couldn't help but let her lips curl up wildly.
Hmm...so cute.
Sheng Zhicheng was unaware that his true form had already been "seen through." Seeing Nan Xian staring intently at him with such a beautiful smile, his round face flushed red. He coughed lightly, somewhat embarrassed, and tried to straighten the wrinkled hem of his clothes before secretly glancing at her.
Suddenly, he felt a cold gaze lock onto him. Startled, he instinctively turned his head to look—
He Mingxiao: ......Heh.
